The service I currently work for uses both the Type II and III ambulance. My only complaints are the walls of the Type II slope in towards the top so being a taller person you have to sit sort of hunched over, add to that the lower ceiling height it can make for an uncomfortable day if you spend a lot of time in the patient compartment. I also prefer the Type III because the cot can be mounted in the center of the floor and not on one side, allowing you to sit in the CPR seat to access the right side of the patient instead of having to lean over the patient as in the Type II. As far as stowing gear, we carry the same equipment on both types of trucks with no fitment or space issues.
